Important Safety Instructions
Only the most careful attention has been devoted to quality standards in the manufacture of your new telephone. Safety is a major factor in the design of every set. But, safety is YOUR responsibility too.
Please read carefully the helpful tips listed below and on the next page. These suggestions will enable you to take fullest advantage of your new telephone. Then, retain these tips for later use.
Use
When using your telephone equipment, the following safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and injury to persons.
●Read and understand all instructions.
●Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the telephone.
●This telephone can be hazardous if immersed in water. To avoid the
possibility of electric shock, do not use when you are wet. If you accidentally drop it into water, do not retrieve it until you have first unplugged the line cord (and adjunct power cord, if necessary) from the modular wall jack. Do not plug the telephone back in until it has dried thoroughly.
●Avoid using the telephone during electrical storms in your immediate area. There is a remote risk of electric shock from lightning. Urgent calls should be brief. Even though protective measures may have been installed to limit electrical surges from entering your home or business, absolute protection from lightning is impossible.
●If you suspect a natural gas leak, report it immediately, but use a telephone away from the area in question. The telephone's electrical contacts could generate a tiny spark. While unlikely, it is possible that this spark could ignite heavy concentrations of gas.
●Never push objects of any kind into the telephone through housing slots since they may touch hazardous voltage points or short out parts that could result in a risk of electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the telephone. If liquid is spilled, however, refer servicing to proper service personnel.
●To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble this telephone. There are no user serviceable parts inside. Opening or removing covers may expose you to hazardous voltages. Incorrect reassembly can cause electric shock when the telephone is subsequently used. If your telephone does not work properly, refer to the information on the next page which describes how to get service for your telephone.
